"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Is it me or is mostly everyone in high school so fake? I mean, dont get me wrong, I have friends and hang out with them- but when it comes down to it at the very end, I cant trust all of them. So many of them are shady and just look for the "good times," and others are really sincere and genuine, but thats rare. Ive met and known so many people, and what ive noticed is that they all talk about each other yet act so cool around each other. Its like everyone just wants to be liked by everyone, but I cant lower myself to be fake like them. Im more the black and white type, if I like you- you'll know and same if I dont. Many times people just want to hang out which is cool, its whatever, but Id rather spend alone time with my girlfriend or family. Friends are essential to life, but many times those friends- arent really your friends. It sucks and it makes me feel alone sometimes. Despite the fact I hang out with them and have a girlfriend, I stop to contemplate and think- the only people I really have are my family, a select few (2-5) amount of true friends, and my girlfriend. What is the deal?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

The deal is that they are trying to qualify themselves to others, when they should have others trying to qualify to themselves.

I know what you mean, man. Sometimes I feel as though my friends would sacrifice me to increase their game. Thanks to the DJ Bible however, I just look at them as AFCs and am quite good with the old body language and what its communicating. Heh, they don't understand why the ladies like the Danman when I don't make the moves. :)

in regards to this comment:

"what ive noticed is that they all talk about each other yet act so cool around each other."

Ive never talked about other people like some people do im just never interested and find it boring talking about others. I dont need to prove myself to people by talking about how so and so did this or that to make myself feel better or something because i dont need to prove myself to anyone.

And this is how i see it.

Sheep = talk about other people.

Genuine = talk about ideas and stupid stuff just to have abit of fun

See the genuine people entertain themselves were sheep rely on other people for entertainment.
